Instrument

Legendary Trial of Harmony

Melody of Healing:

As an action, you can play a soothing melody, restoring 5d8 hit points to all creatures of your choice within 30 feet. This ability can be used three times per long rest.

Inspiring Harmony:

When you play the Lute of Joy during a short rest, all creatures within 60 feet gain an additional 1d10 hit points from any Hit Dice they expend.

Chords of Emotion:

You can evoke powerful emotions with your music. As an action, you can play a melody to impose one of the following effects on creatures of your choice within 60 feet:

• Hope: Allies gain advantage on saving throws against fear or charm effects.

• Despair: Enemies must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw or have disadvantage on attack rolls and saving throws for 1 minute.

Soul Resonance:

The Lute of Joy amplifies the emotional essence of your spells. Whenever you cast a spell that targets a creature’s emotions (e.g., Calm Emotions, Charm Person), the spell’s DC increases by 2.

Enhanced Properties (Post-Attunement)

When attuned, the Lute of Joy reveals its divine potential, enabling its wielder to channel Psyche’s power more fully.  

Resonant Healing:

The healing from Melody of Healing increases to 8d8 hit points. You can use this ability four times per long rest instead of three.

Euphoric Aura:

While playing the lute, you emit an aura of joy in a 30-foot radius. Allies in the aura gain temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier at the start of their turns.

Crescendo of Redemption:

Once per long rest, you can play a melody that inspires redemption. Enemies within 60 feet must succeed on a DC 20 Charisma saving throw or be charmed by you for 1 minute. While charmed, creatures are compelled to listen to you and cannot take hostile actions.

Special Ability: Symphony of the Soul

Once per long rest, you can invoke the Lute of Joy’s full power to create a magical symphony that resonates with the souls of all who hear it. As an action:  

• All allies within 60 feet regain hit points equal to half their maximum hit points and are freed from all conditions (charmed, frightened, paralyzed, etc.).

• Hostile creatures within 60 feet must succeed on a DC 22 Wisdom saving throw or be incapacitated for 1 minute as they are overwhelmed by the music’s beauty. On a successful save, they take 8d10 psychic damage.

When the symphony ends, a lingering feeling of peace fills the area, granting allies advantage on saving throws for 1 hour.

The Lute of Joy is a beautifully crafted instrument, its body made of radiant golden wood and inlaid with shimmering, iridescent gemstones that glow faintly when played. The strings seem to hum with a life of their own, resonating with the emotional essence of its wielder. Created by Psyche, the goddess of the Soul, Music, Redemption, and Emotions, this artifact embodies the power of music to heal wounds, uplift spirits, and inspire change. Each note played carries the divine grace of Psyche, capable of touching even the coldest of hearts.
